Pencil Test..

So I've read online and seen a couple of videos of the "pencil test" as a way to test the firing pin without firing rounds. However, from what I see/read, whenever people do this test and it is successful, the pencil flies several feet out of the gun. I tried this in my P2000 and found that the pencil only jumped about an inch or so, not even coming all the way out of the barrel. Is this indicative of a faulty/weak firing pin? I have fired this gun before and it is a new gun. Been to the range three times with a total of about 400 rounds through. There have thus far only been two failures but they were jamming issues, not misfires. Am I looking at any problems down the road? Or should I just go to sleep and stop being a hypochondriac on behalf of my baby.

stop penciling your gun and forget about it, its fine.... besides, repeating this test too often causes barrel leading

It means that the hammer or striker hits the firing pin lighter than others. My beretta 92G with its 12 pound trigger pull and relatively heavy hammer shoots a pencil across the room at warp speed. I have no doubts this pistol will ever suffer from light primer strikes.
